eco+ LED bars - the perfect lighting for your aquarium

eco+LED bars - big output, small price!

The eco+ model offers outstanding value for money and an enormous range of options.

The energy-efficient eco+ LED strips are available in lengths from 20 to 140 cm and in 11 different light colours. This results in an almost infinite number of possible combinations which make it possible to obtain aquarium lighting exactly according your requirements. No matter whether the edge is 30cm or 300cm long, the aquarium is brilliantly set in the scene and it opens up an extraordinarily lively and colourful underwater world.

Whether minimum or maximum lighting requirements. According to the principle of a modular design system, the LED lighting is individually arranged according to personal requirements and wishes. An extension of the system is also possible, so that further LED strips, a moonlight or even a lighting control can be retrofitted at a later date, if required. The only thing that should be considered at the beginning is a power supply unit with sufficient power for later projects.

LED bars - applications

Our aquarium LED bars are optimally suitable for use in a wide range of freshwater and seawater aquariums.
In freshwater aquariums, you have the choice of all daylight colours (3500K to 13000K) right up to effect colours such as red and blue, depending on the aquarium environment and your taste.
We have a wide assortment of light colours most suitable for lighting freshwater aquariums, including POLAR (7500K), REEF (11000K), CORAL (50% white, 33% blue, 17% red), MARINE (13000K) and ROYAL BLUE (460nm).
Which and how many LED bars you need in the end depends on the tank size, aquarium type, features, equipment and fish population, see FAQ and Light comparison.

High-power LED bars

Every metre of the eco+ bar is populated with ultra-bright, high-power LEDs manufactured under the brand name LG (type 5630). Depending on the light colour, these LEDs emit more than 2300 lm/m and are therefore 33% brighter than the same number of conventional standard LEDs (5050).

Light colours

The diverse range of possible combinations of 11 different light colours offer optimum solutions for all areas of aquaristics, from seawater aquariums to full-spectrum light for luxuriant plant growth. See Light comparison

Colour rendering

The superior colour rendering of up to 90 Ra (CRI) ensures your underwater world is vivid and full of colour. LED aquarium lighting will make your aquarium shine out more clearly and brilliantly than one with fluorescent tubes.

Illumination

Thanks to the almost 180° beam angle (ClearSealing) and extremely high output, the system covers the whole area with a uniform level of illumination. This enables even large aquariums to be lit by only a few LED bars. (Depending on fish population, planting and personal taste in every case).

Design freedom

LED bars give off light directionally unlike fluorescent tubes, which very much scatter their light, and hence LED bars do not require reflectors. This advantage and the ability to position LED bars almost anywhere on the aquarium (front, back, centrally, diagonally) offers the user undreamt-of design freedom. Experience this new kind of effect of depth.

Shimmering effect

Water movements at the surface combine with the light from the LED bars to create a shimmering effect at the bottom of the aquarium, which is just like the interplay of light and shade resulting from waves in nature.

Waterproof

ClearSealing - A special production process in which a special high-performance silicone gives the LED bars a watertight seal: UV and temperature stable!

Passive cooling

During manufacture, LEDs are directly and permanently attached to the cooling body. Thus the heat they create is directly and efficiently conducted away. In spite of their high output, no other means of cooling is required! This has huge advantages because there is no need whatsoever for loud fans, which in turn consume electricity.

The very slender dimensions of eco+ LED bars allow them to be installed in the tightest of spaces. The bars are each only 18mm wide and 12mm high, and are currently available in lengths from 20 to 140cm.

Installation

You have various options for installing LED bars:

To install LED bar(s) in existing T5 or T8 waterproof tube sockets, we offer special holders.

Silicone feet. They allow you to install LED bars very simply, e.g. on the transverse or longitudinal struts or even on the cover plate.

Our lamp housing is manufactured in aluminium to a modern-looking design and has a very slender cross section. It is particularly suitable for open or glass/acrylic-covered aquariums and can be individually configured with our LED bars. The free choice of fastenings means it can be flexibly used as a side-mounted lamp, suspended lamp or as a frame-mounted lamp as well as inside the aquarium cover.

With the LED adapter profile, JUWEL and EHEIM aquariums can be upgraded very quickly to a modern LED lighting system. The existing conventional T5 or T8 batten fittings can be replaced 1 for 1 and the cover plates retained.

Should you decide not to choose any of the above fastenings, then mounting brackets (eco+) or screws (PRO²) are included with the respective products and can be used to install the LED bars directly.
